' This invention relatesjto hair winders and known as permanent waving. In thepresent methods of hair -winding, the hair is wound by hand and is held in positionby the fingers during the winding operation,

so that the uniformity and degree oftightnessof the winding is dependent solely upon the skill of the operator, and usuallytakes considerable time when done carefully. Furthermore, in winding long-hair by hand it must be continuously combed to keep it from snarling, which considerably increases the work of properly winding the hair. Among the important advantages ofthe hair winder of this invention isthat by means offthis device then'winding of long hairmay be done rapidly,:"uniformly and without continualcombing,'by a; relatively unskilled operator since the" device" eliminates all those separate hand operations which are employed by a skillful hair dress-f er, and accomplishes the same results in an improved manner. Furthermore, the proper degree of tension as maintained along the entire length of thelock of-hair during the winding operation, so that the proper de-' gree of tightness is uniformly maintained for each turn of the lock of hair around the curling rod. This advantage is effected by apl-urality of spaced friction. clips which.

" hold the lock of hair against the body of the winder so that the proper uniform. ten-- 'sion of the hair is imparted as it is'drawn from beneath these successive clips in "being wound upon the curling rod. A certain friction between the winder and the curling rod as the latter is held in the winder, aids in maintaining the proper tension ofithe hair asit passes from the winder to the curling rod. v

For .a better understanding of the invening operation.

Referring to Fig. 1 of the drawings, nu

meral -1 designates the body of; thefhair winder, which is provided with a plurality of hingedclip's 2, 2 and 2 nThese clips are preferably U-shaped,' one arm being disposed,

so as to extend transversely across theface.

of body 1, whereastheother arm projects through thebody 1 and is encircledby, a

coiledspring 3, whicliis disposed thereon Y between'the head of an attached screwet and a shoulder formed; by the recess in bodyl.

Transverse grooves 5 across the side o'f body 1 hold these clips 2, 2 and 2 in. the'disena "gaged position shown in phantomin Figs.

2 and 4-when screw head 4 is pushed against "spring 3 thereby causing a sort of cam ac:

tionbetween the edgesof'g'rooves 5 and clips 1 2, 2 and 2*"sothat-thefclips slip in othe grooves when the: pressure upon a is "removed.

'Curlingrod 6, provided with ahair rec-eiving slot 6 is. held in body lby a friction .block 7, which is constrained-against out ofthe body l against the tension of sprmg 11, which is mounted infframe 12. The edge of body 1ov'er whichthe hair passes, is preferably roundedhas shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and a pin 14. is fixed near this edge for the purpose of guiding the hair as it is drawn from body 1 during the wind rod 6 by springs 8 disposed'between it and I i device for the purposeof pressing the "hair against curllngrod 6, and is movable in and of hair, after beingpreviously prepared in i tion, reference may be had to. the accomthe' usual manner, is passed through. slot 6*" panying drawings, in which in curling rod 6 between curling rod 6 and i Figure 1 is a front elevation of the'hair winder of this invention, showing the method of holding the hair while it is being around upon the curling rod;

If only a portion of the lock of hair is in tended to be waved, the body part of the winder will serve primarily as a holder for that part of the lock of hair which is not to be waved, thus keeping it from snarling as,

the winder is twisted by the operator and thereby eliminating the combing of that part during the winding of the remainderof the lock of hair.

In dressing the entire length oflong hair, however, the winder is moved along curling rod 6 with a spiral motion in the usual manner, thereby winding the hair around the rod 6 and drawing it at the proper tension from beneath clips 2, 2 and 2 so as to wind it tightly and uniformly upon curling rod 6, at the same time pressing and smoothing it against the latter by means of plunger 10. Until the end of thelock of hair is drawn from under the last clip 2, these clips keep the hair smooth and free from tangles and thus eliminate .continualcombirig, while the friction between body 1 and rod 6, caused byfriction block 7, aids in keeping the lock of hair tautWvhen it leaves the last clip 2. Before the end of the lock of hair leaves the last clip 2, it is secured to'curling rod 6 in the usual manner.

- The new hair winder is especially adapted for, facilitating the dressing of long hair, either along its entire-length or only aportion thereof, and isequally useful for dressing short or bobbed hair since it willv receive hair of all lengths and may be readily ma- I nipulated for any length of hair. However,

such modifications as are deemed necessary holding the hair tautly thereon, and means I for releasing the pressure of said clips.

2. In a hair winder, the combination of an elongated member adapted to be moved relatively to a curling rod, friction means on said member for slidably holding the curling rod, a plurality of transverse clips sp'aced' v along said member for jointly clamping a lock of hair to said member, and means on said member cooperating with the curling rod to smooth the lock of hair thereon during the winding operation.

3. In a hair winder, the combination of a curling rod, a'member adapted to cooperate with said rod, and a plurality of clips for holding thev hair on the member, said clips comprising bars disposed transversely of said member and spring-constrained against the latter.

' 4:. In a hair winder, the combination of a curling rod, an elongated" member for bold ing a lock of hair, a plurality of clips spaced along said member for clamping the hair thereto, said clips comprising transverse bars pivotally'mounted on said member, and friction means for holding said rod and said member together.
